Why Do We Need Virtual Devices?

Effective testing and debugging always precede a successful release. For that purpose, a QA team needs to choose and exploit appropriate device testing solutions. The diversity of testing devices plays a significant role in the QA process because of the numerous operating systems, web browsers...

How to Become a Test Automation Engineer

So, you are a QA engineer and targeting your goal to become a test automation specialist.

You can start with tools that don’t require coding skills to build automation scripts and gain knowledge of specific programming languages later on. Use tools like TestProject and ...

Metrics in Software Testing: How Are They Helpful?

QA metrics are used to estimate the progress of testing and its results. Through metrics, we can track the status of QA activities, measure product quality and team efficiency, and optimize the processes. However, there is a tricky thing: metrics are useful only in context. The identical showings can have a totally different meaning in two projects. Thus, these numbers alone shouldn’t be the reason to compliment or discipline a team. So let’s find out how to use software QA metrics for the benefit.

Why Are QA Metrics Important?

QA testing metrics become decision points a Team Lead can use to estimate a team’s productivity over time and plan their work in the future. For instance, recording a number of tests added to a new release helps yo...

Outsourcing QA vs Outstaffing vs Freelance: Best Solution in 2020

Outsourcing, outstaffing, and freelance have been around for quite a while in the IT industry, covering a wide range of tasks – from copywriting to building agile teams and developing tech products from scratch. When it comes to software testing and QA, companies don’t always have enough in-house resources to handle the full scope of quality-related tasks. Some prefer to hire independent QA providers who can take a fresh look at the product, while others decide that involving on-demand resources will work better for the company. The remote cooperation models became widely adopted during the pandemic, bringing along new opportunities as well as new difficulties. So companies start seeking for long-term cooperation that, in addition to cost reduction, can offer high quality and ensure security. ...

API Testing Tools: 2020 Overview

Modern software has a complex multilayered architecture, though users don’t always pay attention. Take a look at food delivery services, for example. You need up to a few minutes to find a restaurant and place the order – that’s usually less time than users spend on deciding what to eat. But before the order gets to you, the app manages to communicate with a restaurant to check the availability and place a request, view the map to find drivers nearby, then contact a driver to provide your order details. And don’t forget about integrations with payment systems, chatting apps, and other auxiliary tools. Users take seamless communication between these systems for granted. In the end, this is what an app is supposed to do, why should we be impressed? But you already know that these systems are able to work so well together because of APIs and API testing services that enabke their correct work. Check out one ...

Web and Mobile App Testing: What Are the Differences?

The difference between mobile and web functionality is apparent: they are the versions of the same software adapted for mobile devices and PCs correspondingly. But when it comes to web apps and websites, beginners may get puzzled. Actually, things are quite simple there, too. A website displays text and visual data, while a web app provides access to more features. You not only view and read things but also manipulate the restricted data. Users pass authentication and can modify some elements of different web pages. So when you are using Facebook on your Smartphone via a pre-installed program, you deal with the mobile application. If you take a laptop and open Facebook in a browser, you access the social network via the web application. So the functionality of both apps is almost identical. The app QA process, however, will flow differently for each platform due to their particularities. Let’s take a closer look at the mobile and ...
